I made this last night for dinner and it was a hit. I was pressed for time so I used home canned potatoes and a package of diced ham from the grocery store. This was so easy and quick. The best part was my picky 2 yr old son ate every bite, minus the onions I added. Thanks for posting Jen!

I wish I could rate this higher but I just didn't have great results with it. The basic problem is it doesn't state either how the potatoes should be cut (I cut mine in large-ish cubes) or whether they should be par-boiled or not. The 30-35 minutes specified was just not long enough to cook the raw potato, I had to leave it in the oven for a lot longer and by then the cream sauce was not quite as thick, nor as creamy. I will definitely make this again, but use partly-cooked potatoes to ensure even cooking.
